Tho Constitution of 1870 provides: The Ceneral Assembly shall provide such rerende as mnyIm needful by levying o tax, by valnation, so thal every person and corporation shali pay ataxin proportion o the valug of his, her, or ita property, #uch valuo to he necerlained by romae person or persons. 10 be viectod oF Ane polnted in snch manncr as tho Uencral Asecmbly shall dircct, nnd not otherwise. That is almost o transoript of the provis. ion in the Constitntion of 1848 on the samo sabject, and that hns beon the constitutional tulo in this Sinto sinco 1818. For sizty yenrs the Constitution and the law has been intor- proted and oxecuted just as it is now, and it is raiber late to bo nccusing Assessors of perjury, and questioning tho validity of as- sessments, because not made according to full cash valuations. Tho Constitution pro- vides nnd requires an equality of taxation ace cording to valuation. That is tho aim sought by the Constitution, and it is to the viola- tion of this roquircinent that we owo all the injustico of taxation. The Legislaturo has full control over this subject, and ks by Inw provided that the assossmonts made by the Assessors of the several counties shall bo roturned to the State Bonrd of Equalization, ond the. Iaw nssumes that the nggro- gate of theas mssessments shall bo taken ns tho legal valuation of the prdperty in the Htate for taxable pur- poses, and prohibits the Stato Bonrd from adding to or taking from that aggregato val- untion moro than 2 por cont. 'The Board is then required to equalize tho vatuations, so as that property assessed locnlly iy ’ome county, sny at 25 per cent of its valuo, shall have its valuation Incrensed to such an cx- tent as to cqunlize its valustion with the genoral valuation of lika property in tho wholo State. When tbe Stato Bonrd hns equalized the valuation its judgment is final, and becomes qm proportionato valuation for the State without nny reforencs to the valua- tions mado or reported by tho loenl Assessors, In point of fnct, tho assossment made by Asscasors lios, so far as valuations aro con. cerned, no legal forco; it is mere. Iy prolimingry, ond s subject to com. plete rovision by the State Doard; and tho nssessed values of proporty on which taxes nro lovied and ostended are winde, not by fhio locnt Assessors, but by the Stato Board, whoso work is by law declared so final and cowplato that even tho courts have denied tho power to disturb it, If tho local Asscasors should roport the valuation of tax. able property in this connty at $5600,000,000, as this tnx-cators’ scheme contomplates, the State Board would have full logal power to rcduce it to one-half or one-thind that sum, just as thoy have ropeatedly inereased tho local assossinents of this coupty 50, 80, aud even 100 por cont, All tho ftalk, therefors, that tho illegal conduct of Asbessors in not making full cash valuations invalidating tho nssessnionts thom. solves is aimply absurd, becanso in fact and inlaw tho valuntions for taxable purposes are made by thie Stato Board undor authority of tho Legislature, to whom full power In thio mntter ix given by the Constitution, The great trouble of our system of taxa- tion is the want of uniformity in the relative valuation of proporty,—that ls, the property of ono mnn is valued too high as compared with the valuntion of anothor man's prop- crty. ‘Thoso diferoncos are inseparablo from tho systom, to some oxtent, Lut thoy might Lo groatly mitigated. Wo think tho Asscss. ord of this county would do well to have an intelligent and thorough uuderstanding as to thelr systom of valustion, Thore wero in. cluded In tho lnst nssessment no less than 811,806 town lots jn this county, and theso aro nssessod ot an averago of 4.25 per lot, Of theso lots thero aro perhaps 160,000 that hisve now no valuo as loty, but might be werth from 310 to $50 per acre for gardens, or if planted in corn, ‘These lots aro assessod at fancy prices, ranging from $100 to 8300 por Tot, and I€ they kiave any valuo as bullding lota 310 each would bo a Yiberal * cash valun. tion." ‘It is not possible to nssoss this property ns noro proporty, and the result is, that tho owness refuse to pay the exocssive taxos thereon, and the property fs forfolted fortaxes nunually, 8o with mnch improved insido lots; tho difficulty is to find any value ot which they muy be nsseased w0 ns to pro- duco taxes.

It would not be surprising if the exceptional character of last wintor shonld be followed by n protmeted senson of storm; but thero is plonty of time yot. Farming operations this yoar havo been much niore oxtousive than usual at this date, aud two or throo weeks of rain would not work irrop. orablo damnge, though, of course, it wonld work partiol injury, 'Tlio most serious acca- slon for fear is in tho direction of wide. sprend sickness, which has generally fol. lowed such woather 0s hag baon experionced during the past fow months, Wo mny nlso expect to see inkcet life abnormally activo daring the coming munmer, ————y It is of tho higlest importanco that the public shonld bo informed of the cxistence of n plot among tho Communists of Chicago to orgnnizo for a general uprising, but it is nlso of tho highest importance that Police- Superintendont IHokry Lo wuro of tho facts bofore allowing such an impression to pre- vail. If hLis agonts nro ablo to got the truth, tho peoplo want it; but they do mot want rumors, surmises, or cxaggerntious circulated for ihe purposo of croating a scaro and working up o demand for an increnso of tho polico force. "U'his is no thne for o scaro, nnd Clucago is in no humor for it. The reported discovories of the police sound sonantional, und wo believe they will bo proved to have no existonco in fact. The Communists of Chicago caunnot possibly bo tho lauatics that theso rumors would ;mako thom appear; if thoy aro, tho monus will bo found at tho proper time to bring thom ta their souses, The letter from Detroft which wo print this morning, relative to tho sccusations of imworality against Bishop McCosxny, will command very gonoral attontion from a reading public alrendy shocked nnd scandal- izedt at tho flood of filth poured forth in con- neetion with this subfect, From the de- scription given of the young woman, from her statements in tho intorview with Tne ‘I'nmtousg correspondont, from ler ngo, aud from all the circumstances surrounding hor enso, the unprojudiced reader will have difl- culty in crediting tho foul storlos | I8 each neighborhood, and such coucurront that bhove filled so large & placo | Bction as will avold the striking dlsparitics in tho columus of the Chicago | iR mescssmonta which produce such gen. oral complaints.

'Tho reading of the protest, which bas already appeared in the columns of Tue Trroune, was mterrupted by Mr, Coxuxn, who objecied to the propor words referring to a “combinatiou of memn. bors for tho spoliation of the Truasury,” Cox shonuld mot huve withdrawn o word or syllable of that charge, It should an indiguant utteranco of tho truth in belal? of the pen- ple whom this bill will plunder, The ob- impudent, It would have . ronght o blush upon tho pachydermatous check of Dex Burien. Ilo know when ho offored the objection that tho bill was the result of a combination to despoil tho Troasury, e kuow that it was a corrupt, dirty job to lovy n tax of soven and & holf millions upon tho people. o knew that of this amount five milllions was unnecessary, and, be- ing unnccessary, of course would be stolenor squandered. It was o bluff game, aud It is not creditablo to 3fr. Cox's nerve that e was backed down so oasily, He shoald have inslsted upon tho yotention of the words, oud should have used the scalpel of Lis sar- casm upon Coxcen until he squirmed. It was In keoping with the unities of {he oc- casion that Mr. Resaay, that smooth Oily Gammon, who hed formerly nttompt. ed to thimblerig, the llouse into a stesl to pay Confederate wail-coutractors who bad already been pald, should reinforce the wan who was attempting to bully it through. It was not strauge that o man who attempted a confldence gawe upon the House that was fortunately frustrated by tho production of tho archives of tho Confad- eratoPost-Office Dopartwont should be found up to his cyes in the River and Harbor stedd, whera thero were no archives to convict him.

If tho monstrous appro- printion was really needed, then thoro wns no need of a protest, but tho very ex- istenco of tho protest showad that tho ap- proprintion wns not needed, and the spond- ing of mency not neoded showed that the integrity of tho mombers ought to bo re- fleoted upon, The Committes know that tho steal wns crowded through by log-rolling and gapging, and that two-thirdsof the money propored to bo epent will be of no bonefit to American commerco, and, being of no benefit to commerce, will bo tho same as stolen. ‘With this knowledgo hefore them thoy onght nok to have disclaimed any reflection upon tho integrity of mombers. The American people are refleeting upon it very seniously, and ono of their refleetions is to the pur- poso thaf it is the duty of honest members of tho Houso to reflect upon tho dishonest ones.

Al thedevees thal need be built on this com- mon sense plan will he two cinbankmenta vf six or scven miles In length from the river to Torgue, to protect tho plantations from being flooded. The whole cost of this work, fncluding the value of ‘a strp of fand o mplle wide hetween the river and the sound, will not cxcead 250,000, This small sum of money Iakd out in the way stated will do more good and afford better protection to the Lower Mississippl Vatley Irom overflows than ten times the four and a quarter milifons which 1t {s proposed to squander on an abortive scheme of levees to restruln the *“Father of Waters* within artificlal embaunkments. The now outlet will also open s navicable chinnnel during high water from Mississlppt Eound to New Orlcans for consting steamérs, and there. by furnish o constitutional .reason for expend- iné the moncy which will give reliet tothe plantations from overflow. e —e—— Mr. J. 8.

In France tho sale of tobucco {8 a (Jovernment monopoly. In England the tax on tobacco is three of four times higher than {t1s in this country, being $13 on liome-mude cigara ns against $06,23 bere, and about $1 per pound on other kinds of to- ‘bacco ns agninst 21 conts here. - As was shown in Tuos TRisyNE some thne eince, a bill bas re- cently been introduced in the German Parlia- ment to fncrease the tobaceo tax very lurgely, and the tux In Russla and.

It {s calculated to ex- cite the scctional projudices which it pretends to helleve aro already In existence, but which in fact have nowhero been manifested, Instead of ralsing the ery of sectionallam, the Eastern press ought to welecome the hearty co-operation in opposition to this bill which has been offercd to them by nearly all the influential journals of the West and Soutb.
